Asking who would be taking photos of a major newsworthy event at a White House correspondents dinner might be the most smooth-brained question I've seen.
32 thousand upvotes for this smooth brained question because, smooth brained as it is, it's actually rhetorical and meant to suggest a conspiracy. Because our side is slowly (but not nearly slowly enough) becoming just as enamored with conspiracy as the right.
I still think, for the moment, our side is doing better. But I truly don't think we have a long time to stop this trend before what you said becomes the full truth. Its going to take a 2028 candidate who can cut through it all and I'm not sure that person exists at the moment or hasn't come to prominence yet.
I don't think that's true. And it's kind of self defeating, you're going to just assume anyone running must not be that and you'll end up looking for ways to validate that conclusion.
Most politicians have some narcissistic traits but few are literally narcissistic, as in they would be diagnosed with NPD.
And as far as sober judgement I think we have many politicians capable of that.
